Description

I wish there was a simple way to just hit a keyboard shortcut or click a toolbar icon to just take a simple screenshot of the VM’s display and the original resolution; with no distortion, filter, or scaling.

I know I can take screenshots using tools in macOS, but then that means I still get the window’s chrome surrounding the display, and the corners are rounded off. I don’t want that. I just want the original display as it is.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; start by locating the VM display toolbar and keyboard-shortcut entry points. Done means providing a screenshot action that captures only the VM display at its original resolution, without window chrome, rounded corners, distortion, filters, or scaling.
